DIY: Wooden Bracelets!

-
EN

Now school is done, I have so much free time! It’s kind of a weird feeling though. I was so used with the piled up schoolwork everyday and now that is done and taken care, I am like “what now?”.

Yesterday I went to a graduation and goodbye party of a girlfriend, as she’ll be moving away with her boyfriend. More of that soon!

Since I have so much free time, I can finally put more love and ease with my DIY projects! Lately I’ve made wooden bracelet out of coffeestirers again. I sure drank a lot of caffeine during my thesis research…

But then again, this DIY is so fun and easy to make! I hope you try it out c:

Nu school achter de rug is, heb ik eindelijk 'echt' vrije tijd! Het is een beetje een raar gevoel hoor. Ik was zo gewend met het opgestapeld schoolwerk van alledaagse en nu dat allemaal verleden tijd is, heb ik nu zoiets van: "wat nu?".

Gisteren ging ik naar een afstudeer-en afscheidsfeestje van een vriendin, omdat ze samen met haar vriend naar de andere kant van het land gaat wonen. Meer van dat binnenkort!

Aangezien ik zoveel vrije tijd heb, kan ik eindelijk meer liefde en gemak in mijn DIY projecten stoppen. De laatste tijd heb ik alweer houten armband gemaakt van koffie roerstokjes. En koffie dronk ik tijdens mijn schoolcarriër!

Maar het is zo leuk en simpel om te maken, dit houten armbandje! Ik hoop dat je het uit probeer c:

I can't choose! Help me to make a decision out of A or B!

    This project is so neat! Wood is such an interesting material for jewelry. Anyways, I love A, because I'm a huge fan of layers--it gives hair more texture in my opinion--and it seems to be more prominent in A. -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's

    Echt superleuk! Hmm wel lastig om jou met andere kapsels voor te stellen.. Ik zou ook zeggen A, maar misschien omdat het model in B een beetje boos kijkt :P Ben benieuwd wat het wordt! xx

    Those bracelets are such a cute idea! If only cafes in Australia actually gave away coffee stirrers, haha. I really like haircut B by the way, I think it'd really suit you too :)

    This is so cool but reading this makes me feel the pain of splinters :( I've had the worst experiences with splinters my entire life, even on wood that you can't even get splinters!

    DIY is always a fun thing to do.
    Go with B — the layering looks a lot better, and the end curl is a lot easier to maintain.

    B would look PERFECT on you. x

    I don't like A or B! But I have to choose, it's A, although it has a funny backside. :]

    Fijne vakantie :D

    AAAA! but I think B might suit you better (A would be a bigger change too, I think)

    I'm loving the free time at the moment - it means I can sleep in as late as I want! Also, I like B :)

    I think hair style A is lovely, I like that little fringe.
    And that wooden bracelet looks so cool!

    Have a lovely Sunday,

    I totally understand how you feel! But school starts again in another few weeks for me so I'll just try to enjoy summer before school hits! You can finally take a nice break now though and DIY projects are awesome! You can also blog more often then!

    Ipersonally love A better, because of the bangs (I haven't had bangs since a few years ago and I miss it)! But then, it can also be difficult to see once it grows out so trimming would be necessary!

    Have a great day!

    A! It has to be A! It's really cute and I think it will suit you (would be a nice change too as you don't currently have a fringe).

    If you like both why not to do a mix?
    I like the B haircut with the A fringe.

    How creative to reuse the coffee stirrers! Love how you always think so much about re-purposing into beautiful things! :) I have already commented on your IG, but you are looking really great with your new hair do! How is the fringe at last? A or B? :)

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post.

Please try it out!    NL Deze week is mijn eerste werk week weer begonnen na e...

DIY: Crochet Miniature Cinnamon Rolls

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/br...
